Ken Ogata plays Shiro Miyagi, a sprinter with Olympic aspirations whose dreams were shattered by WWII. A broken man, he leads the dissolute life of a gigolo until a chance meeting with a fiery young athlete named Hiroko (Michiyo Yasuda).

The film from 1960's Japan certainly features rather outdated views on sexual violence and "making a man/woman" out of someone. But it's a surprisingly topical plot, given the appearance of transgender athletes at this year's Tokyo Olympics.
